Obama supporters... A quick reminder about Super Delegates:
2:1

That is all you need to remember..
I have scoured the internet in search of analysis of how many SDs Obama will need. Most predictions fall around 100 SDs needed for him to have 2025 when all is said and done.I read something earlier that said that Obama campaign only needs 80 and by my own "worse case primary results scenario" I have the needed number at 110.


So, Obama needs 100 out of about 308(depending on your source.) For every 2 Clinton pickups Obama will only need 1!! If you look at today:

Obama picked up Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry. Yay!!! :party: Then Hillary supporters were beside themselves with smugness when Hillary picked up Tennessee Rep. John Tanner. :evilfrown: but Hillary needed to pick up another SD to break even with Obama for the needed SDs. Then things got worse because Obama picked up Audra Ostergard, Associate Chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party :evilgrin: So, while it looks like it was a 2:1 day... it is really a 4:1 day. Keep this in mind as SDs come in.
